Locksmith Services in Leicester

24/7 Emergency Lockouts

Locked out anywhere from Leicester city centre to Loughborough or Market Harborough? We specialise in non-destructive entry — professional picking and bypass techniques that get you back inside without damaging your door or lock. Over 95% of lockouts are resolved without a mark. From £49.

uPVC Door & Window Repairs

Leicester’s housing stock — from Victorian terraces in Clarendon Park to the large 1970s–90s estates in Wigston, Braunstone and Beaumont Leys and the newer developments at Hamilton — runs heavily on uPVC and composite doors. Spinning handles, failed gearboxes, dropped doors and jammed mechanisms are our most common local call-outs. We carry gearboxes, multipoint strips and cylinders for all major brands on the van and repair rather than replace. From £49.

Lock Replacements & Anti-Snap Upgrades

Moving house in Leicester, lost your keys, or still running the standard cylinder your door came with? We fit 3-star TS007 anti-snap cylinders (Avocet ABS, Brisant Ultion, Mul-T-Lock) — the grade most home insurance policies now specify — and BS3621 5-lever mortice deadlocks on timber doors. Cylinder change from £49; moving house 3-door package from £149.

Broken Key Extraction

Key snapped in the lock? Don’t push it deeper with tweezers or a screwdriver. We extract broken keys cleanly using specialist tools, usually saving the cylinder. From £59.

Burglary Repairs & Boarding Up

Break-in damage secured the same day across Leicester and Leicestershire — replacement locks, frame reinforcement, and temporary boarding over smashed glazing, with a full written invoice for your insurance claim. Boarding from £59; full secure-up from £149.
